OBJECTIVE: Veneer chipping in bilayered ceramic restorations is a current problem reported with significant frequency. CLINICAL CONSIDERATIONS: This clinical report describes the use of a monolithic, implant-supported restoration with gingiva-colored ceramics. Good esthetic and functional results were achieved with no complications reported after 3 years. CONCLUSIONS: Prosthetic rehabilitation using monolithic zirconia may help to prevent complications associated with bilayered ceramics systems. Further studies are essential to provide long-term data about the performance of this type of prostheses.
